trouble shooting

Hello,
 
I installed PostgreSQL 8.3, Apache and phpPgAdmin, all in one.
I had to unistall it, in order to install Open ERP. Open ERP has to work with its own PostgreSQL 8.3, but after unistalling your package, there seem to be something that remained in my computer, because the PostgreSQL 8.3 from Open ERP will not get installed.
 
Thank you,

Most likely you will need to remove your "postgres" user account and/or
the PostgreSQL folder in Program Files.

OpenERP should be installing PostgreSQL independently on a non-default
port using a non-default user account so that it does not conflict with
the default PostgreSQL installers. I suggest you report this issue to
them, as there is no reason you should not be able to run a regular
PostgreSQL as well as OpenERP's PostgreSQL at the same time.


On a side note, I think it'd be great if the Pg (un)installer for
Windows had a "clean uninstall" that stripped all this stuff, or a
separate "clean system" utility. I know deleting the account(s) breaks
PgAdmin III etc, but it's clearly a need for many Windows users.
